The first tenant has been signed up for a newly refurbished landmark office development in Glasgow city centre.

Edrington-Beam Suntory UK Distribution – formerly known as Maxxium UK – has taken the entire fourth floor at 191 West George Street, NFU Mutual’s development which has been extensively refurbished.

The drinks distributor will relocate from its current premises in Castle Business Park, Stirling in the autumn to the 15,031 square feet space on a 15-year lease following a period of fitting-out.

The letting follows completion of a major refurbishment programme at the building. The £5.5million project created 87,000 sq ft of Grade A office space over six levels with virtually column-free floorplates that range from 10,432 to 15,011 sq ft.

The building now has a new double height, spacious entrance foyer with a newly re-positioned screen and circular revolving automatic door, as well as a feature concrete wall panel, showcase lighting and glass wing speed lanes.

Works also included remodelling and refurbishing the common parts and office suites, with the atrium from floors 1 – 4 now infilled. Soft spots between floors have also been created to allow tenants who are located on two or more floors the option of creating a private internal staircase spanning between separate floors.
